Scholarships
Doctoral students who are accepted to our program usually receive financial support (tuition and stipend) for their entire period of study, provided their performance is satisfactory. A unique feature of doctoral program is support during the first year from University Fellowships; this financial independence gives beginning graduate students the freedom to explore various topics with different faculty members. For the 2010-2011 academic year, the tuition plus stipend amounts to $62,500 (tuition: $33,500, stipend: $29,000). Exceptional students receive financial supplements from the School of Engineering & Applied Science in addition to their University Fellowship. After their first year, students are usually appointed Assistants in Research, and their tuition support and stipend come from the grants and contracts of their faculty research advisors.

Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required of all applicants whose native language is not English. This requirement is waived only for applicants who will have received a baccalaureate degree, or its foreign equivalent, prior to matriculation at Yale, from a university or college where English is the primary language of instruction. If you are applying to a Ph.D. program associated with the Schools of Forestry & Environmental Studies, Epidemiology & Public Health, Nursing or Management, you must send your scores to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (code 3987) and not to the individual Schools which have separate codes for applicants applying to professional degree programs (e.g., MF, MPH, MSN and MBA degree programs).
The General Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the General Record Examination (GRE) is required of all applicants to the Yale University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences PhD program in Management. Please use code 3TJ-30-78 for the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences for your GMAT scores.

Job-Search Assistance from Graduate Career Services
Graduate Career Services (GCS), at the McDougal Center, offers a number of programs focused on the academic job search. Each fall, faculty members from departments spread across the humanities, social sciences and sciences are invited to share personal search experiences and insights gleaned from serving on search committees. In addition, the director of GCS offers workshops on preparing a curriculum vitae and on preparing a cover letter. GCS and the Graduate Teaching Center also offer a joint workshop on preparing for academic interviews. In the spring, panels of graduate students who have been successful in the current job cycle discuss their experiences and offer advice to students who will be going on the market the following year. GCS also works with individual departments to offer programs specifically designed for students in those departments.
